Why Wearable Companies Need to be More Narrow-Minded

Another key issue that is addressed by Recon's specific use case is battery life. Recon claims to have six hours of battery life on its device. This would not be nearly enough for a general purpose device (think Apple Watch). Since Recon is specifically designed for training and sports though, consumers will mostly likely never exceed the six hour limit. This provides Recon with more flexibility when designing their hardware, which allows for additional features, lighter weight and less bulky design.
